Had to stay in part of the hotel that was across the street- because somehow they thought we had a pet… mini golf wasn’t included in the price of the hotel- it was still $7 per person- very misleading. Wanted a receipt for my $100 deposit- but couldn’t get one…

Mini golf was dingy. No upkeep and kids from a party were running rampant around entire course with no adult supervision.

The hotel rooms are super well insulated, you can't even hear a car engine start outside. The only downside is that there is a grab and go breakfast, but no sit down continental breakfast.

Excellent stay. Best mattress in 8 nights! 3-4 walkable restaurants. There is mini golf very, very, close by. Almost on site. Fun goofy way to unwind after a long day on the road.

Nice stay. We had our dogs with us. Large spot for them to go potty. Room was clean. Very nice large mini fridge . The only thing I was surprised with was that mini golf was not free as advertised. You got a very small discount to play . All in all a decent place to stay .

2 rooms, booked month in advance. Rooms on opposites sides hotel & street. Noisy, traffic, heater, after got it to work. Both rooms. Clean, but flood light, noise, ice machine, soda machine, stairs next to room all combined for a horrible stay. Expect better for 300 dollars a night. Did i mention old mattress. Next time motel 6, more bang for the buck.

The main issue was that the room was hot and stuffy all night long. We made sure the heater was off and utilized the fans. We tried opening the window, which would only open a few inches due to a block placed on the tracks. I called the front desk and their response to me was to use the fans provided. The internet was very slow. The refrigerator froze all of our food and drinks. No microwave. The bottom bed sheet on both beds kept coming undone. I know it sounds like “nit picking,” but it just seemed to be one thing after another. Also, the mini golf course is not included in the stay. We wil not stay at this facility again.

The staff checking in were very sweet and full of smiles. I absolutely loved the way they folded their toilet paper and towels into shapes and animals! :-D It made our day.
